Next year's fixtures : Wed Nov 12, 2014 11:04 am  

The Widnes game in round 4 has been moved to Friday 6th March, due to the fact we play Thursday before and Thursday after that game so that means that apart from the Hull game on the opening weekend we are not due to play a home game on a Sunday afternoon till we play Saints on the 12th April !

Plus we only play 1 game away on a Sunday up until the middle of May, and they wonder why crowds are dropping and people are losing interest in the sport !

cant blame them for moving the widnes game, we have been shafter a few times with these short turnarounds.

maybe the club should have changed its home games to friday nights afterall!

maybe the fans see a sky subscription as more worthwhile than a season ticket these days....

all those families we attracted to the game on the back of cheap season tickets and predominately sunday afternoon games will just about be gone now and trekking to shopping centres rather than the giants games now..

Buy a season ticket for games you cannot get too because they have changed from days to nights that the club are told too

or get SKy tape them and watch them at your leisure say 3 Pm on a sunday afternoon !!

Sounds reasonable to me.

I ccannot get to to thursday friday saturday or Monday games.

may as well stick with Sky

like i say each to their own... sky works best for you, lets hope they show the giants alot.. means we are doing well if they do!

what about 'fans' that can get to games but would rather watch on sky.

Yes I love fartown, been a fan for years! Yet will not buy the tickets not buy the shirts but still a fan!?! No fair play there are reasons to not buy season tickets work ect but if your a fan you should try to get down and watch them as much as possible! Sky is no match for being at the game and no Stevo or Eddie drumming in with the usual one liners! "They need something different, a kick over the top"
